Long Night of Research | U12

How much non:rest does a library need?

We’ll be exploring this question for a whole night at our U12 station!

Embark on a journey through the university library. Exciting hands-on stations await you in our non-rest area: Try your hand at making paper, painting initials, crafting and drawing with a 3D pen. Visit our Karl Popper archive and marvel at the oldest and most valuable treasures in our treasure chamber. A large book flea market also awaits you.

 

Visit our points of interest:

Aula: Book flea market

Level 1: Infopoint (stamp pass, gifts, information material and much more)

Level 2:

– Paper drawing
– Painting with a 3D pen

We look forward to seeing you!

 

Book flea market

For the Long Night of Research 2024, the UBK is once again organizing its big book flea market!

On Thursday, 23.5. and Friday, 24.5. from 9.00 – 17.00 you can browse, rummage and buy again – at kilo prices:

1/2 kilo of books for 1 euro!

As always, the flea market is located in the assembly hall in front of the library entrance.

On Thursday, mainly textbooks and academic literature will be on sale, followed on Friday by fiction, children’s/young adult literature, illustrated books and general specialist literature.

 

There is something for everyone – guaranteed!

We are happy when our books find a new home!
